    Syntax
    public override void SetUseSourceMetadata( 
       bool useSource
    )
    Public Overrides Sub SetUseSourceMetadata( _
       ByVal useSource As Boolean _
    ) 

    Parameters

    True to use the underlying source object's metadata
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
    Remarks
    Attempting to set the UseSourceMetadata for GroupLayer is ignored. Sub layer types do not support metadata. They typically have a single source, specified on the parent layer, that controls the metadata.
